Games

I don’t tend to enjoy games that are artsy for the sake of being artsy. I’ve played a few of those. You know the type. “Games” that go out of their way to be “art”. As much as I support the “games as art” argument, I don’t feel games should …

Killzone. The “Halo killer”. The game that was supposed to be Sony’s big exclusive franchise that would make us all forget about Halo. Well, that didn’t happen, since the first game in the series turned out to be quite the mediocre game, at best. One has to question what Sony’s …

Following the end of one trilogy, we have the beginning of another. For four long years, the Master Chief and his AI companion, Cortana, have been stranded in space, separated from humanity and everything they know. But not for much longer, as there’s a new threat looming on the horizon …

The annual Horizon festival has returned to Colorado, its siren song luring lovers and racers of cars the world over. For three days, racers take to the streets of Colorado to show off their talents and compete for a coveted spot in the Horizon finals. While some games like Need …

So, earlier today, I decided to play a little bit of Mass Effect 3 multiplayer to do my part for the Operation Alloy multiplayer event that’s going on this weekend. So, after promoting three characters to contribute to the community totals, I decided to try to level up my now …

Seeing as I’m a gamer and carry my iPhone with me everywhere I go, I play a lot of games on it. Sky Gamblers: Air Supremacy is a modern flight sim-lite title available on the App Store for $5 that I’ve been playing for a while now and I’ve quite …

It should go without saying that this is going to be full of spoilers for Mass Effect 3’s ending but, in case it doesn’t, WARNING!!! This post contains spoilers for Mass Effect 3! There we go. The Mass Effect 3 ending fiasco was probably the biggest display of consumer backlash …

Why aren’t I excited? I should feel a little bit excited. But I don’t. Seriously, go back in time to 2008 or 2009 or so and I’d be practically jumping off of the walls in anticipation of E3. And why wouldn’t I be? The Electronic Entertainment Expo is the biggest …

About Me

Welcome to my personal website, The Mind of Game.

My name is Justin McBride and I’m a guy who loves writing, playing games and writing about playing games. In my spare time, I’m usually writing, gaming or listening to my massive music collection. I’m also something of an audiophile and can talk your ear off about the benefits of lossless encoding and how you really need to drop those cheap earbuds and upgrade to some serious headphones.

Seriously. Get rid of those things.
